I like the black rockers but after the comments I went back a looked again. I would paint the lip black before I would paint the rockers, especially on a lowered car. Stock height all red helps "lower" it but on yours, black with a black lip would be ****.
Super nice looking car, though. Props to dad for taking it out and shooting it for you. Pics came out well.

Thanks man, I forgot what stock looks like... 
j/k
They're silver and 15x7
If it was a stock lip, I'd leave it black. But I like the look of the painted GV too much.
I dunno, the head-on and front end shot are in my parent's driveway, the 3/4 shots are somewhere I don't recognize. Downtown maybe?

Nah, but I've always had lowered cars so I'm pretty confident in my ability to avoid major hazards that might damage the lower half of the car. There are a few battle scars, like the dent in the PS rocker panel (might have to squint, I painted over it to lessen its visibility), the small crack in the lip (DS, 3-4" inboard of the left endtank) and various scrapes under the car. Florida is pretty friendly too it, Georgia was less so but still manageable. Lemme dig up a pic taken from my old driveway...

Never measured it, GCs are 5/8" from bottomed, and it has FCM mounts. The pinchwelds are just below my Craftsman jack on the PS, I can just fit it under on the driver's side.

I'm a little surprised no one has asked me why my car is higher on the DS than the PS, I guess this forum has enough experienced petrolheads that it's understood why.
